Great! I had the same problem with a QIF file generated by Spanish 
version of Microsoft Money, but in my case I've noticed no error 
messages, simply a blank list of accounts and transactions.

A simple substitution of "Tipo:Banco" by "Type:Bank" and so on has 
solved the import problem.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Orestes.
